Fuzzy clustering and Mumford-Shah model are two fundamental methods for image segmentation.In this paper
an extended Mumford-Shah model integrated with fuzzy clustering
called FCMS
is presented.FCMS has some remarkable characteristics and better performance.The framework of FCMS consists of three strategies
which are also available for integrating various popular fuzzy clustering algorithms into many Mumford-Shah’s variations.In particular
an example of FCMS using the FCM and original Mumford-Shah model is completely studied in this paper.The results on theoretical and experimental analysis demonstrate the rationality and effectiveness of the proposed model.
